41 (40-25) Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fish-hook? or press down his tongue with a cord? 2 (40-26) Canst thou put a ring into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a hook? 3 (40-27) Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak soft words unto thee? 4 (40-28) Will he make a covenant with thee, that thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever? 5 (40-29) Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? 6 (40-30) Will the bands of fishermen make a banquet of him? Will they part him among the merchants? 7 (40-31) Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish-spears? 8 (40-32) Lay thy hand upon him; think upon the battle, thou wilt do so no more. 9 (41-1) Behold, the hope of him is in vain; shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? 10 (41-2) None is so fierce that dare stir him up; who then is able to stand before Me? 11 (41-3) Who hath given Me anything beforehand, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is Mine. 12 (41-4) Would I keep silence concerning his boastings, or his proud talk, or his fair array of words? 13 (41-5) Who can uncover the face of his garment? Who shall come within his double bridle? 14 (41-6) Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror. 15 (41-7) His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. 16 (41-8) One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. 17 (41-9) They are joined one to another; they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. 18 (41-10) His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. 19 (41-11) Out of his mouth go burning torches, and sparks of fire leap forth. 20 (41-12) Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot and burning rushes. 21 (41-13) His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. 22 (41-14) In his neck abideth strength, and dismay danceth before him. 23 (41-15) The flakes of his flesh are joined together; they are firm upon him; they cannot be moved. 24 (41-16) His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, firm as the nether millstone. 25 (41-17) When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid; by reason of despair they are beside themselves. 26 (41-18) If one lay at him with the sword, it will not hold; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft. 27 (41-19) He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. 28 (41-20) The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones are turned with him into stubble. 29 (41-21) Clubs are accounted as stubble; he laugheth at the rattling of the javelin. 30 (41-22) Sharpest potsherds are under him; he spreadeth a threshing-sledge upon the mire. 31 (41-23) He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a seething mixture. 32 (41-24) He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. 33 (41-25) Upon earth there is not his like, who is made to be fearless. 34 (41-26) He looketh at all high things; he is king over all the proud beasts.
